7kb SalI-KpnI genomic fragment containing entire coding region and 1.4kb of upstream sequence.
Flies carrying both one copy of Sod+t2.4 and one copy of CattOa show a retardation in the accumulation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine during aging and in response to exposure to X rays compared to control flies. Age-related loss of Zw activity and increase in the rate of mitochondrial H2O2 generation are less steep in flies carrying both one copy of Sod+t2.4 and one copy of CattOa than in control flies. The metabolic potential, or total amount of oxygen consumed during an average lifespan, is approximately 30% greater in flies carrying both one copy of Sod+t2.4 and one copy of CattOa than in control flies.
Overexpression of Cat does not extend the lifespan but does bestow some protection against experimental oxidative stress.
Sod1+t2.4, CattOa, Trxr1+t10 is a suppressor of chemical sensitive phenotype of Ppcs1
Sod1+t2.4, CattOa, Trxr1+t10 is a suppressor of chemical sensitive phenotype of fbl1
Sod1+t2.4, CattOa, Trxr1+t10 is a non-suppressor of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype of Ppcs1
Sod1+t2.4, CattOa, Trxr1+t10 is a non-suppressor of radiation sensitive phenotype of Ppcs1
Sod1+t2.4, CattOa, Trxr1+t10 is a non-suppressor of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype of Ppat-Dpck43
Simultaneous co-expression of Sod+t2.4, CattOa and Trxr-1+t10 suppresses the sensitivity of Ppcs1/Ppcs1 flies to 5% H[[2]]O[[2]] and 100mM dithiothreitol, and results in increased resistance to 20mM paraquat.
Simultaneous co-expression of Sod+t2.4, CattOa and Trxr-1+t10 restores survival of Ppcs1/Ppcs1 and fbl1/fbl1 larvae on medium containing 100mM cysteine to wild-type levels.
Simultaneous co-expression of Sod+t2.4, CattOa and Trxr-1+t10 does not suppress the impaired ability of Ppat-Dpck43 or Ppcs1 homozygous adults to climb in a negative geotaxis assay.
The reduced survival rate of adults after exposure of larvae to 20Gy irradiation that is seen in Ppcs1 homozygotes is not rescued by simultaneous co-expression of Sod+t2.4, CattOa and Trxr-1+t10.
